Instructions

- Season: Sprinkle dried oregano and freshly cracked black pepper over everything to bring in herbaceous and spicy notes.
- Prepare Chili Honey Drizzle: In a small bowl, combine honey, chili flakes, and warm water. Stir until smooth and pourable to balance sweetness with a kick of heat.

Notes
- Adjust the chili flakes to control the heat level of the chili honey drizzle.
- Use high-quality olive oil for best flavor.

- Pairs wonderfully with a crisp white wine or light beer.
- For a gluten-free option, serve with gluten-free flatbread instead of traditional pita.
